Bredel in Delden, manufacturer of industrial hose pumps, has invested in a M65-G MILLTURN turning-milling centre from WFL. In order to make the best use of the productivity and capabilities of the turning-milling centre, the WFL machine tool is equipped with a large tool magazine, an automation solution from Promot and a jaw quick-change system from Schunk specially developed for this project.
With the complete installation, Bredel can produce various parts for hose pumps unmanned and achieve short throughput times. Bredel is part of the Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group and the global market leader in the field of hose pumps. The pumps make their way to clients in a wide variety of industries, from mining through to the medical and food industry. To maintain its competitive edge, Bredel is always looking for ways to improve productivity and optimise processes. The new automated WFL M65-G MILLTURN is a great example of the continuous investment strategy at Bredel. The new turning-milling centre will eventually replace an older machining centre from WFL. At the moment, all programs and components are gradually being optimised and transferred to the new M65-G.
